I agree that an iPhone is still a nail (a commodity like every other phone). But only that nail has that feel, attributes, ARKit, FaceID

I think, I start to get it. I guess, I had some miss interpretations about the meaning of commodity.

My understanding is based on this article: blog.gardeviance.org/2015/09… Now Iβ€˜m confused Wardley defines Commodities as undifferentiated

That is what the smart article says. The queues before the stores, ARPU, and guidance says: Apple is not in the market for commodity

After reading both, I would tell the story this way: For smartphones the iPhone was the first innovation as a product.

Android was the second innovation, that made smartphones commodity by enabling competition.

So, in that model there would be no products as soon as there is viable, symmetric competition?

Usually yes, but Apple proves you can. Sounds like an irrational behavior by customers πŸ˜‰.

Never understood this line of reasoning. Their customers are irrational? Really? Apple continues to offer something that people want to buy.

Never said they are irrational. But buying an expensive iPhone instead of cheaper Android seems irrational on the first look.
